LIMA, Peru — The unusually intact fossilized skull of a giant, bony-toothed seabird that lived up to 10 million years ago was found on Peru’s arid southern coast, researchers said Friday.
The fossil is the best-preserved cranium ever found of a pelagornithid, a family of large seabirds thought to have gone extinct about 3 million years ago, said Rodolfo Salas, head of vertebrate paleontology at Peru’s National History Museum.
